Smh.... and it had good critical reviews.
Naija and our action flicks.
The movie made much sense than your average "Hot pursuit".

We all have different tastes... I wasn't in the mood for that kinda movie and I'm not really a fan of British movies except some 'wow' ones.

blublahd:
If you were the wife would have told him not to come home even without a face to face?

Kinda boring to me.... watched it for 10mins then fast forwarded it to the end.

Just saw Hot Pursuit.... very hilarious

blublahd:
You guys should watch "Locke".....

I've had it on my system for a while now, maybe I'll see tonight.

Pls how did you do this? I have blackberry link in my laptop

reaky:
On the bb10 go to the Settings.
Go to Network Connections.
Go to Internet Tethering.
Select USB.
Turn on Tethering.
On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the bb10
Once the software starts, connect the bb10 via the USB cable to the PC.
Open the browser.
You should now be able to cruise the net
And start updating

Thanks Reaky....

He is married o.
His beautiful yoruba wife will not hesitate to pour you hot water.

Whaaat! I had no idea... oh mehn that yoruba chic was really smart and fast

I think I'm in love with OC Ukeje

chigo93:
does upgrading consume much data?

The size of the data required is always included in the update message.

walcolm:
put your sim with data in another device with mobile hotspot capability. connect your bb to that device via wifi and download

You can create your own wifi

Nobody around me has a BlackBerry with micro sim. So I'm using BlackBerry Link and USB tethering to update it now.
Just done updating

obixcel:
all the while they were showing it @ our local cinema I've always bypassed and ignored the movie,until I downloaded and watched it @ my own convenience,it was really cool and fun to watch.

I really loved Oh and I was already imagining Sheldon in big bang theory... he really did a great job voicing Oh!

walcolm:
Why? What are you waiting for?

No access to WiFi yet....

kindredspirit:
I'm on 10.3.1.1784. I haven't updated to the newly-pushed software yet.

Mine is 10.3.1.2726, and I'm yet to update to the newly-pushed update too

Just saw Home... and I LOVED it!

kindredspirit:
Weird. I got mine but it was 1.6GB.

What version are you on?

walcolm:
I bought my passport directly from NA and that region received the first release of 10.3.2 but has not started receiving this version yet

And I'm on OS version 10.3.1.2726 , I guess it's been delayed cuz of network.

walcolm:
yet to get the OS update pushed to me and i'm on glo too

I guess you'll just have to be patient

Kash007:
Are you using the Z10?

Yeah Z10 STL100 something...

walcolm:
Which network are u on?

Glo network

cupid4ig:
nothing here yet are u using glo?

I'm using glo. Just exercise a lil patience and you'll get it.... I wasn't even bothered about the update sef

cupid4ig:
Have anyone received the latest update here in Naija am tired of waiting

Just saw mine today....

kazzonline:
Lies!!! Prolly u brought a fairly used phones!! Ii hav brought close to 8 brand new phones from them,ranging frm sony xperia sp,samsung androids,bb q5 ,now 2 q10s and lg g3 i never had a reason to go back and complain,

No doubt affordables back in the day had dubious elements but ever since they rebranded,me personally i hv never had issues wf my phone frm affordables!!

As long as ur phone us sealed in pack from blackberry,which was how i met my q10..na me break the seal

Anyways am not here to do advert for affodables,ibam just trying to reach out to intending q10 buyers to giv it a shot before buying it at slot for 42k or other sellers who sell at that price,

At least the same affordables sell the white for 38k

I've never used a fairly used phone, so this isn't an argument.... buying anything at affordables is at anyone's risk, this is a warning to all potential buyers out there!

Double post

kazzonline:
It is brand new sealed in pack,affrodables sells cheap phones everyone ows that,there is no need to run bro! All my q10 devices i used back den wia frm dem and i nevdr had any single issue,but i know dos wbo brught frm slot and complained bitterly!

So anyone with interest to buy a new q10 u can chk dem out,i went dia to buy a smasung phone and i saw the price,i was forced to buy one and i can tell u there has been no regrets

From experience, I believe anyone who wants to buy phones at affordables is buying at his or her own risk

zsch:
I recently updated my q10 to 10.3.Bleep. It was great for a few days and one day while on a call, it was terminated and I saw "no sim card inserted". I tried a different sim on a different network, same thing. I took the phone back to claim warranty as it was just over 12 days old, I was told that the phone would have to go to blackberry and may take 1 month before I get it. They "adviced" me to get it fixed for 3k. (I got the phone from Affordables in ikeja and this is officially the last time I will ever get anything from them).

The "fix" seemed to solved the issue. Less than 48hours after the fix, network disappeared and I saw a "technical error" code and notification saying "sim card has been locked against network....". A restart or battery pull returns my network but some days I need to pull batter 2-3 tunes to get network back. I need a permanent fix as this is stressful for a less than 3weeks old brand new device.

Is this a software bug or a hardware issue? Would unlocking the phone fix it.

Quite confused which is odd as I'm usually knowledgeable about handhelds.. Any engineer in the house?

Sorry about all that.... I've had issues with a phone I got from affordables too, had to go with an army friend before they could change the phone. They said all that same story of fixing and all but I didn't agree cuz I wanted the another phone entirely which they later did with plenty talk and argument. Dunno if twas a coincidence or they sell faulty phones.

And some of my friends avoid Dana air like a plaque and say it's either they use aero or arik...then this happened.
It's only God that protects us when we use these aircrafts cuz this can happen to any airline.

ExInferis:
i watched Chappie last night with elevated expectations (me being a sci-fi buff) and i must say the experience was terrible. After the brilliant District 9 i had high hopes for director Neill Blomkamp, i even forgave him for the tepid Elysium, but this...this is a travesty. who ever funded the production of chappie needs to be shot, along with Blomkamp, his wife, sigourney weaver, and hugh jackman.

this film is so bad, so terrible, so useless, so riddled with gaping plotholes they literally appear like sinkholes in every scene.

without much ado, here is everything wrong with Chappie in bulletpoints:

1. Future south africa decides robocops are a good idea, but neglected to have a backup plan in case the machines--being machines--failed. Also the government didnt care much for supervising the main armament and robotics manufacturer.

2. Tetravaal, the company making the robots, looks more like an accounting firm than a robot mass producer. its chief scientists and enginners huddle over desks instead of research labs. Heck, even the singular brains behind the company's only successful product has a small table in the midst of the clerical hoi polloi.

3. Tetravaal is the most bullsh1t company ever when it comes to security. The main Guard Key, the master key to the robots firmware is a mere USB key, which is very much copyable, and is kept in the most unsecure room with nary a guard nor camera, nor alarms, nor any sort of protection. evidently anyone can just walk in and pick it up.

4. the engineers have a great degree of latitude within the compoany. they come and go as they please, access any facility, open any door, enter any level, access every computer and programs, and run whatever code, even malware. all the while there are no guards, no cameras, no alarms, no forms to sign, no permissions to be asked.

5. Tetravaal fully funds the Moose program run by the villain vincent but yet discarded it because it was "big, lumbering, over powered". Er, didnt you see the AutoCad before commission millions, probably billions, to build a fully functional vertsion of the darn thing?

6. Appaerently Tetravaal emnployees, even the ones who work in high security and sensitive projects, are not under protective surveillance.

7. in the wacky and improbable world of Chappie, a computer programmer can create a fully functional "human consciousness" in a matter of hours. And have said program ready for deployment without test running.

8. Deon is apparently the only human being capable of writing complex code completely free of bugs. im a programmer, and even for a few hundreds of lines of code, i spend a great deal of time debugging. i tried creating a first person shooter game with Blender and later Unreal and tons of prefab resources, with only 15 thousand lines of code but the scripting (in python) nearly ruined me after countless cans of Redbull. gave up after 2 years and just one serviceable map barely 500 square meters.

9. so after the bullsh1t "consciousness" update (ChappieConsciousness.dat file, haha) chappie started off as nothing more than a curious child who could only mimic gestures and parrot spoken phrases. a few scenes later he was blabbing nonstop and questioning human propensities with none of the mental progression expected.

10. If the moose robot was controlled via telekinesis using a daft VR-like contraption called a "neural helmet", why was vincent using a HOTAS stick to control the stup1d thing?

11. so all the robocops were wiped out via a malware and the wonky USB guard key thingy, and the police has no contingency plans so criminals are free to roam and cause bloody mayhem. so where was the army? the national guard? anyone? why was there no sense of panic in joburg and even within tetravaal iteself?

12. vincent, in the ofice on a monday morning, physically attacked Deon the star employee of tetravaal and even threatened him with a gun in full glare of every one. and vincent didnt even get a query from HR?

13. Deon finds out that vincent was responsible for bricking the robocops, and instead of reporting to the CEO or whoever, deon fumingly storms to vincent's pathetic workstation, an in front of everyone, deon threatens to spill the beans and expose vincent. he never did.

14. the gangsters of joburg are a joke. so is joburg law enforcement. a couple of villains and chappie robbed a bullion van on TV and no one bothered to trace the villains.

15. why do both deon and vincent have unfettered access to their robotic creations? why should vincent have full access to a militarily formidable and fully armed robot without any checks and balances or oversight?

16. why is a fully functional robot (the one chappie gets transferred into at the end) a prototype?

17. how can chappie, a robot running off a hard disk, transafer his consciousness using a neural helmet? isnt a neural helmet meant for reading human brain scans?

18. if the USB key needs to be physically plugged into the robots to be firmware upgraded (or virus infected), how come vincent only needed to plug it into some random Acer desktop only to upload his malware?

19. as regards 18 above, how were they able to upload Yolandi's consciousness remotely? didnt they need the master key again? and why is the preoduction facility still powered and online since the government banned all further output?

20. so Tetravaal has the most insecure network and computers that can logged into remotely to design, build, and program a robot? if it can be done remotely why does anyone come to work?

21. so how do they plan on getting yolandi out of the tetravaal facility after building her, seeing as robot production was banned?


these are just some of the plotholes, inconsistencies, and poorly realized internal logic of chappie. the acting is even worse, the theme hammy and handfisted, the motivations questionable, the plot tedious, and the endless deus ex machina laughable in its frequency and absurdity.

in a word, chappie is a terrible movie, the year's worst after jupiter ascending.

chappie is for sado-masochists only. please avoid

Good analysis... I like you already
